Important : This tool requires the characters from the chara/female folder . "Characters loaded from a studio file" can not be edited with HS ABF .
Instead ; extract the characters from studio files first ---> with WaifuRipper to chara/female folder & replace the ones in scene file with them after loading the scene .
So Changes on characters will apply to them]

With "HS Active Bones", you can edit your character's bone files when you have characters in studio and
instantly you can see the changes. It includes some bones you can not modify with main character editor.
It was also hard to edit them in bone files. Cause you struggle with a lot of text and confusing names. In this utility
i converted all bones and parameters to easy to understand names.
So you can see what you gonna do.[A few bone parameter's name are not fully clear for me yet, so I plan to fix them in next versions]

Bones in the list are ordered from head to feet and grouped. So it gets easier to see what you search for. While some bones modify
single parts of body, some others modify some together as a whole.

Example : "Waist Tone" scales the waist.
But "Waist&Above" scale the waist and the rest of the Body above waist.

"Whole Legs" scales the lower body as a whole.
This gives many chances to create extraordinary body types.

You may have small problems with hair if the hair is not original and created as a mod. Some hairs not responding
the changes and some response in different axis, probably cause of the creator's axes set not aligned with the original hair axes. But with practice it is possible to get what you need.

"Hair:Top","Hair:Pigtails","Hair:Sides","Hair:Back","Hair:Bangs" modifies related parts of hairs. So you have control on most of the hair.

I will not give more details, cause I believe you will find your way easily.
I tried HS Active Bones in windows 7 64x . I hope it works in other windows Versions.

Please send reviews, thoughts and errors and feedback about if they work in other os.
I will try to do my best to fix them.

Note :
This small project started with the need of interactively editing bone files. I have written in python and
packed with cx_freeze. I am not a professional developer. But learning it. The version python i used 3.6. Since
it is latest release of the Py, There are not so much support yet for packing the scripts. As a result "HS
Active Bones Female" is not a single executable. It comes as as folder. Sorry for that.

THANKS : Lots of thanks to all community those who modded HS and made it much more fun.
Note : If anyone more experienced than me is out there and wants to mod or and create a better exe, I can share the py file.

Reason: UPDATE 0.4

"First check if you have any bone files in your female folder."
They are files ends with "png.bonemod.txt".
If you do not have so, probably you do not have that plugin ..

And If you give information about your Operating System, it can be helpful as well.

I discovered something :

If you add a character to studio; bone files in chara folder applies to character.
But when you save this scene ; This bone files were written to Studio folder and
And when you open that saved scene, bones files in Studio folder overrides to character's original bone files.
This is confusing. But there is a solution.

After opening a studio file; Replace each character in studio with the original png chara files in the Female folder. It is easy.
Now When you edit character all changes will apply to them. !
I hope this helps...

Thanks for your quick response.
Stupid me, i did not read the requirement thourougly so i missed that i need the other two plugins for it to work. now my test charakter looks... well i slided the hell out ouf the tool so yeah, she is a monster now xD

Oh I have no idea ...
Maybe its a wrong alert.
Cause also virus scanners see keymakers as a virus .
Please scan it ans see which file "seems" infected with that.
Cause there is nothing more than in it just pure python, png and cx_freeze ..
I will try to find what is the problem ..
I use it myself on my own computer
I found this.
